So, I'm on my second week of dieting and my first week I lost a great 11lbs. I was super happy about and it's motivated me even more.

Annoying Sodium info in MFP Food Database
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this: On almost every food's nutritional info that has been logged by a user on here has inaccurate sodium counts. It seems like no one else is aware of the difference between grams and miligrams. MPFs recommended sodium per day is measured in mg whereas most food packages measure…

Activity Level

Juice bar at the gym?
You know the juice bars at the gym where they make really yummy smoothies and whatnot? I never know what to order.

What should I get in it?…

Tea vs Water
Ok...so here's my problem...water! I dislike water as much as trying to ride a bike up hill facing the wind. It's not that the water is bad in my area, in fact my water is in the top 10 under ground water sites. I'm just not big on the h2o. I've been *clean* off soda for a month but now I've found I've turned to green tea.…

Protein bars/shakes...Needed?!
Hey! I done a 5k run not long ago and in the end pack, they included a protein bar which I ate today after the gym. But what i was wanted to know is whether the protein bar is necessary? What are the benefits? I've been told that if you eat them or drink them, and don't work out you become fat. Or look fat.
